"They're all wonderful actresses," Ponsoldt told The Independent. "We're very fortunate that a lot of really great actors are interested in playing these roles. We're in an enviable position."

He added: "Regardless of people's political affiliation or how they feel about Hillary Clinton, you don't find people who question the quality of her intelligence or her drive. I want a wonderful actress who could embody that."

The film's release is set to be timed with the 2016 presidential election, where Clinton could be a candidate for the Democratic party.
